Kamaal Rashid Khan’s funniest interview!

KRK, as Kamaal R Khan chooses to call himself, rips apart several from the industry, and talks about Desh Drohi 2

By Kunal M Shah(MUMBAI MIRROR; April 18, 2009)

• Who are your competitors in the industry?

I like Aamir Khan and Ajay Devgan. But my ultimate competitor is Shah Rukh. He stays in a Rs 100 crore bungalow in Mumbai, while I own one of equal worth in Dubai.

• Desh Drohi 2 declares that Muslims are creating trouble in India. Do you fear controversy?

KRK has never been scared in his life and will never be, right till the last breath. I love my India and I am ready to die for my country.

• You signed on controversy’s children for the film. Is it solely to be in the news?

Today, it’s not making a film, but marketing one which is a tough job. When you see Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan fighting about who is the bigger ‘marketing star’, my film’s casting is only justified. My cast will interest the audience.

• Jimmy Shergill, Aftab Shivdasani and Mallika Sherawat refused to be a part of your film. Comment.

When you start a film with Jimmy or Aftab, it’ll be declared as a flop from day one and the distributors will all run away. So as a producer, I do not want to sign them. And as far as Mallika is concerned, my film is a patriotic film, not a porn film. If I ever make a porn film, I shall definitely approach her.

• So you’ve signed on Payal Rohatgi?

See, most of the actresses today have a lot of money and don’t need work. So I singed on the hard-working Payal.

• People have had a lot of fun at your expense during award functions. What is your reaction to this?

Actually, I’m happy that people can’t ignore me. They love me or hate me, but can’t ignore me. But yes, I was quite surprised to see Imran Khan cracking jokes about me. His only identity today is that he is Aamir’s nephew. I suggest he first create an identity of his own, come to my level, and only then talk about me.

• What are you planning after Desh Drohi 2?

I will make ten Desh Drohis! One Desh Drohi made me a superstar and reaped me a profit of Rs 25 crore, imagine what ten Desh Drohis can do.
